Guard Ezra Cleveland has agreed to a three-year, $28.5 million contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including $14.5 million guaranteed. Acquired from the Vikings last October, Cleveland started 49 games for Minnesota before the trade and closed out the season as Jacksonville’s starter at left guard. This deal ensures he remains in that spot through the 2024 season, with the rest of last year’s offensive line starters also under contract.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded for offensive lineman Ezra Cleveland from the Minnesota Vikings. Cleveland brings solid pass-blocking and run-blocking grades, along with experience at multiple positions on the offensive line. While he has shown inconsistency in the run game, he has the potential to improve the Jaguars' offensive line and provide additional protection for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Vikings likely traded Cleveland due to his desire to play tackle and their recent signing of Dalton Risner. Overall, it is seen as a low-risk, high-reward trade for the Jaguars.
